> none of my pro-life friends would support murder terms for women who abort. that's a statement about your friends, not a statement about the extremes of the debate. I, for one, would support treating women who terminate 8th month babies as murderers. >>>

not remotely trying to convince you; just arguing that many in the extremes are PERFECTLY consistent !
